The KN-980L Automatic Centrifugal Vegetable Dewatering Machine is a high-efficiency centrifugal drying solution developed for post-washing vegetable processing. Utilizing high-speed centrifugal force, it rapidly removes surface moisture from leafy vegetables, cut vegetables, fruits, herbs, and salad ingredients without using heat, helping maintain product freshness, appearance, and shelf life.
The machine features an automatic lid-opening mechanism, allowing automatic unloading after each drying cycle to improve workflow efficiency and reduce operator labor. Combined with an intelligent control system and heavy-duty suspension structure, the KN-980L delivers stable, low-vibration performance suitable for continuous industrial production.
Manufactured from food-grade SUS304 stainless steel, the machine provides hygienic operation, easy cleaning, and excellent corrosion resistance for demanding food processing environments.
Automatic centrifugal vegetable dewatering machines are widely installed immediately after vegetable washing systems to prepare products for inspection, cutting, packaging, freezing, or further processing.
